Hi, an entrepreneur is a person who is motivated to fulfill a high requirement of achievement in innovative and creative activities. Their creative behavior and innovative spirit that make up an endless chain of the process are called entrepreneurship.

What is the difference between managers and entrepreneurs?

Creating the process is not enough for the entrepreneur, but an equally important task for him is to manage the business. He does a managerial function from an entrepreneurial point of view.

The entrepreneur enters a transitional state in which initially the transition from an entrepreneurial to management with innovation becomes a routine for him. It also emphasized insights and involvement with people through techniques and analytical methods.

The entrepreneur considers and exploits the opportunity, and the subsequent steps required for the organization are appropriate for management.

Entrepreneur differs from a professional manager Undertakes an undertaking for his personal satisfaction. As such it cannot remain within the framework of professional behavior set by others.

He can engage a professional manager to perform some of his tasks. Such as objectives, policies, procedures, rules, strategies, establishment of formal communication networks. However, entrepreneurial work of innovation, perception of business risk, and commitment to their vision cannot be delegated to the professional manager. For a professional executive, failure can mean little.

Probably more than locating a new job even at a higher salary, while the failure of an entrepreneur in his efforts would be a devastating loss to his career. The professional manager has to work within the framework of policy guidelines set by the entrepreneur.

This distinction between the entrepreneur and the professional (traditional) manager is presented in Table I.
